According to Daily Trust, a three-storey building collapsed on Tuesday at about 5 a.m. at No. 41 Popo Giwa Street, killing a mother and four of her children.\n\nThe building collapse trapped eight family members, with three survivors, including the father, rescued and taken for medical attention. A resident, Abdul, who was involved in the rescue operation, reported that the mother and her youngest child, about five years old, were found dead. The father was trapped in a toilet and survived after a wooden part of the old building prevented a pillar from crushing him.\n\nThe cause of the collapse is not stated. The Governor, Speaker, and Senator have expressed their condolences to the family of the victims.",
